When is a hegemony not imperialist?

Sometimes it includes invasion… This war is fallout from the Ukrainian revolution in 2014.

This sub conveniently forgetting about 200 years of Russian imperialism & going to bat for Russia in Ukraine. Like I know u guys don’t like Western powers but countries shouldn’t be able to conduct “special military operations” just because they’re bigger than their neighbor.

If that’s the case then the only legitimate way to criticize capitalism is by eating berries and living in a cave. I ignore those litmus tests because it goes both ways. Since to them I’m either a hippocrite because I use capitalists products or I’m a poor freeloader who wants to own other people’s stuff for free. When people make that asinine claim I usually just point out that black slaves in the south participated in slavery while being very much against such practices, imo there’s no need to use hypothetical this and that to shut them down.
